I have to thank loads of people - don't be waving that 'ten seconds' sign at me, dude, it's taken me 45 years to get my ass up here, I won't be getting down in no ten seconds.

So.. Donna for directing, Oisin for producing (feck the fada's I'm under time-pressure here), the Linenhall who remain a bastion of good humour and relative sanity in a world gone otherwise mad.

My family, they support me, they encourage me (brush your teeth, they say, take your feet off the couch...) but they also inspire me - whether they're choking on maltesers, tucking their dress into their knicks at glamorous functions or just being... nice

Is Cormac McCarthy's novel 'The Road' a most devastating read or is it just me?

That is the question.

Of course it's not just me.

It's a brilliant brilliant book. Even on the most basic level of a survival and horror story, it's gripping and totally memorable.

But it pretty much shook me to the core.

I think this is becuase I must be roughly the same age as the man in the book and one of my sons must be roughly the same age as the boy. I identified with it all far too much for my own good, I think.

That song by Aslan 'How can I protect you in this crazy world' kept coming to mind...

Have these banner adverts just appeared at the top of the Bebo pages or am I just waking up from something?

I don't like them - I clicked on someones page and thought they had a new skin that said 'Is you air filter slowing you down' and I thought it was some new cool band or movie or something and went off surfing it up and... oh never mind!

I don't like these new banner adverts, that's all, it's makes the pages look like they endorse the products that are featured.
